FRANCO, Marina. State of exception at the beginning of the twentieth century: from the working-class question to the national question. Av. Cesor [online]. 2019, vol.16, n.20, pp.29-51. ISSN 1514-3899.

This article analyzes the exceptional measures as mechanisms of social discipline and labor conflict resolution enforced during the first decade of the 20th century. It examines the laws of permanent exception, i.e. the “Law of residency” and “Social defense law,” as well as the recurring state of siege between 1902 and 1910. These laws affected those segments of the population defined as “agitators” of national security, while “anarchists and other individuals” were regarded as “dangerous”. The article examines this legislation as part of a whole body of exceptional measures and it also allows a closer look at certain specific mechanisms activated to respond to social and working-class issues. This work forms part of a broader-scope research on the state’s repressive modes and practices as well as its diverse agencies and players throughout the 20th century.
